Restructuring & Recovery Insurance

In the current economic climate and as the market place becomes more global, competition is fierce and margins are squeezed. It is becoming increasingly vital for businesses to protect their commercial interests.

We provide clients with indicative costs to assist with budgetary requirements.

We provide some of the most innovative risk solutions for individuals and organisations working in the business recovery sector. By maintaining strong working relationships with major professional associations, member bodies and our clients, we ensure our services remain relevant to their needs.

What is arbitration funding?

Arbitration can be an effective method of resolving disputes. Indeed there is now usually an arbitration clause written in to most commercial disputes. Whilst arbitration is frequently seen as a cheaper alternative to litigation, the costs can still be prohibitive. Particularly for a small organisation taking on a much larger organisation in a contractual dispute.

In much the same way as third party litigation funding, arbitration can also benefit from funding. Funding can be secured in arbitration to pay but not limited to:

Own side legal fees

Disbursements such as expert fees

The costs of the arbitrator.

What is after the event insurance?

ATE insurance is a risk transfer mechanism that protects clients’ interests in the event of an unsuccessful case. Knowing the perils of unsuccessfully litigating the existence of ATE leaves one asking, “why carry the risk?”

ATE can provide a number of benefits to our clients, including but not limited to:

Protection from adverse costs orders

Clients can pursue a meritorious claim with greater confidence

Can be leveraged to encourage the opponent to settle.

What is arbitrations costs insurance?

In the event of an unsuccessful arbitration there is still potential exposure to:

Own side legal fees

Expert fees

The arbitrator's fees

Arbitration costs insurance can provide protection against these exposures as well as against any adverse costs award.

What is cross undertaking in damages cover?

Interim injunctions can be an effective tool in a claimant’s armoury. Particularly in matters such as insolvency proceedings where there is a real concern that a respondent may dissipate funds or dispose of assets in order to frustrate any litigation. There will not always be time to fully evaluate the full circumstances; therefore, the risk of an adverse costs order can be very real.

In the eventuality that the injunction is lifted or found to have been wrongly granted, the claimant can face a costly bill. Consequently, the applying party will be asked to provide a cross undertaking in damages, and this will often need to be fortified.

However, there is an insurance product in the market that can protect the claimant from the exposure to any adverse costs resulting from an interim injunction. This is called cross undertaking in damages cover (CUDC).
